Love is in the air & April flowers

My sweetheart Brett came to stay with me for 4 days last week.  He came out just in time for my Vassar class Thursday night and stayed through very early Tuesday am.  It was really fabulous! I can honestly say that the more time that I spend with him the more I hate it when he has to head back to Long Island.  I really love having him around the house and to be honest I am a bit surprised by just how much I miss him when he goes.  I had been fairly comfortably “single” for several years and I had grown accustomed to having my house pretty much to myself again.  (“slave T”, my live in slave / room mate manages to stay out of my way often enough to still allow me to feel some privacy in the house so that I don’t have to kill him). <grin>

So when Brett started staying for 4 & 5 day stretches, I rather half expected that there would be times when I would start to feel the strain and need to stop myself from saying something like, “Isn’t there somewhere else you are supposed to be yet?” But, well the truth is .. I really love being with him.  <grin>  He is smart, funny and great to talk to.  He can be playful and fun to hang with and yet serious when we need to be.  He helps me in countless ways from puter geek stuff to handy “honey do” stuff around the house (and has rescued my butt in dozens of ways). 

Oh and of course he is also:

  • handsome and sexy as hell,
  • deliciously fun to torture & tie up,
  • getting more & more skilled with a whip & stuff himself all the time,
  • an amazingly thoughtful & talented lover and…
  • one of the best snugglers I have ever met!

I truly am crazy about this guy and for the first time in over 5 years I can honestly say I am madly and deeply in love again.  Can you believe it?? I was beginning to think that that would never happen again and basically just when I stopped looking for love, there it was. Yayy!!!

Now, about those flowers….  to celebrate spring my sweetheart and I spent last Monday planting some flowers in the back of the house and in my porch boxes, then today I bought a bunch more bulbs and perennials and slave T and I started working on a few other little plantable pockets of yard.  I love planting flowers in the spring!!  Not a lot of people know this but my mother whom I adored was British and the British are naturally quite well known for gardening.  (Honestly they had to be I think since they are so lousy at cooking!)

Anyway, every spring when I was growing up my mom would take me to the nursey and we would go crazy buying and planting pansies, impatiens and other pretty coloured flowers to scatter through out her rock garden.  I really cherish those memories of her and that planting ritual is one that still makes me feel close to her.  I was so happy to share that with my Brett and again today with slave T and I can hardly wait til the bulbs I planted today start blooming in the summer! I will be sure to post a pic when they do! Ok that’s all for now.. see ya soon!
